Holders of Class 3 (General Unsecured) Claims Against Adinath Corp. and Simply Fashion
Stores, Ltd. (n/k/a SFS, Ltd.)
Re:
Recommendation of Creditors’ Committee in Favor of
Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation
Dear General Unsecured Creditor:
We are writing to you on behalf of the Official Committee (the “Committee”) of
Unsecured Creditors of Adinath Corp. and Simply Fashion Stores, Ltd. (n/k/a SFS, Ltd.) (the
“Debtors”). The Committee was appointed by the Office of the United States Trustee for the
Southern District of Florida to represent the interests of general unsecured creditors in the
Debtors’ chapter 11 cases.
Copies of the Plan Proponents’ Plan of Liquidation Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”)1 and related disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”)
are being distributed to you, along with a ballot with which to cast your vote. The Committee is
a proponent of the Plan, supports the Plan and urges you to vote in favor of the Plan by
so indicating on the enclosed ballot.
The Disclosure Statement contains extensive information with respect to the Plan and
we encourage you to carefully review it. The Committee urges you to read the Plan and the
Disclosure Statement carefully before you cast a vote(s) to accept or reject the Plan and
to consult with an attorney to the extent you deem that necessary.
The Debtors filed bankruptcy petitions on April 16, 2015. Since its appointment on April
22, 2015, the Committee has taken an active role in the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases since the
Petition Date, including in the liquidation of substantially all of the Debtors’ assets and the
investigation and prosecution of claims for the benefit of the Debtors’ Estates. The Disclosure
Statement includes a full summary of the (i) Debtors’ chapter 11 cases, (ii) projected
recoveries for holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims, and (iii) terms of the Shah
Settlement (as defined in the Plan) that provides the basis for creditor recoveries under
the Plan.
The Committee believes that acceptance of the Plan is in the best interest of the
holders of Claims and have concluded that the projected recovery represents an
improvement over the recovery, if any, that Class 3 Creditors might expect in a
liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or in chapter 11 absent the Shah
Settlement. Accordingly, the Committee recommends that you vote in favor of the Plan by so
indicating on the enclosed ballot.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to
them in the Plan. In the event of any conflict between this letter and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall
control.
